The Recovery Media 

Creator can not be 

launched because there 

is no recovery partition.

You will see this message if you have previously 

chosen to remove the partition and are trying to 

create "Recovery Media". When there is no 

recovery partition, the Recovery Media Creator 

cannot make Recovery Media. However, if you 

have already created a "Recovery Media", you 

can use it to restore the recovery partition.
Simply follow the instructions in "Restoring the 

preinstall software from your creating Recovery 

Media" section in this manual. You will be 

directed to select "Restore Original Factory 

Image" from the drop-down menu. If you have 

not created "Recovery Media", please contact 

your dealer.
